Jenna wins Inspire! Award

Healthcare learner Jenna scoops Inspire! award

ACT’s very own Healthcare learner Jenna Smith won the Skills for Work Award, at the prestigious Inspire! Adult Learning Awards!

She collected the amazing honour at a glittering ceremony in St Fagan’s National Museum of History on Thursday October 20.

Run by the Learning and Work Institute, the awards honour those improving their lives with training. Determined Jenna completed a Level 3 Diploma in Healthcare Support with ACT, while also working at the busy Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil, during the pandemic. Jenna said she couldn’t have done it without ACT and the support she received from staff. She said: “I’m overjoyed to be awarded the Skills for Work Award with Inspire! after being nominated by Natalie Williams, my wonderful assessor with ACT.

Natalie has been extremely supportive and helped me through some very difficult personal and professional circumstances that I experienced while working in the hospital, during the pandemic.

I couldn’t thank or recommend ACT enough for supporting me through my qualification, which has allowed me to start my nursing degree with the Open University."

Natalie Williams, Clinical Health IQA at ACT, was happy to share in Jenna’s fabulous news. She said: “I am beyond thrilled to see Jenna win this award as she really truly does deserve it.”
